This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture, identification and testing of a
battery vehicle. It is applicable to battery vehicles containing compressed gas, liquefied gas and mixtures thereof. It
is also applicable to battery vehicles for dissolved acetylene. The specific requirements for dissolved acetylene are
included in annex B. For toxic gases, this standard is only applicable where the LC50 of the gas is above 200 ml/m3.
This European Standard does not apply to the vehicle chassis or motive unit or to multi-element gas containers
(MEGC¿s), pressure drums and tanks.
This standard is primarily for industrial gases other than Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) but may also be used
for LPG. However for dedicated LPG cylinders, see standards prepared by CEN/TC 286 Liquefied petroleum gas
equipment and accessories.
Festgelegt sind die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Herstellung, Kennzeichnung und Prüfung von Fahrzeugen für Gasflaschen-Batterien, die verdichtete oder verflüssigte Gase enthalten. Die Festlegungen gelten auch für Acetylen-Batterie-Fahrzeuge.
